This release notes for this version contain the following items:

Application

  • Fixed Issue: Context menu continues to appear after the initial right-click when attempting to edit the sheet. #4045

Dodeca Shell

  • Known Issue: In Windows, long running Dodeca Shell operations may be killed due to a console timeout. The simplest workaround for this issue is to bump the logging level up via the 'logger debug' command, ensuring steady console output. #3280

View Commentary and Attachments

  • New Tool Controller: A new AttachFileToViewToolController has been added to allow users to attach files directly to a view. This enables embedding documents or other file types within the view context. #3966

  • New Tool Controller: A new AttachHyperlinkToViewToolController has been introduced to let users attach external hyperlinks to a view, providing quick access to web resources or documents. #3966

  • New Tool Controller: A new AttachLinkToViewToolController has been added to support linking between different views within the application, enhancing navigation and contextual relationships. #3966

View Selectors

  • Fixed Issue: When you remove the selection of a depended-on-by selector(parent) with a Selection Policy=MultipleItems, the sibling selector throws an error. #4020

Views

  • Fixed Issue: When a view’s CulturePolicy is set to UseWindowsCulture, the user’s regional customizations are applied to the workbook but are not honored by the view or an associated Workbook Script. This issue has been resolved by honoring user customizations across the application when UseWindowsCulture is configured. #4082

Workbook Scripting

  • Enhancement: The PromptForInput-Date overload has been enhanced to allow the selection of a date from a calendar. #4018

  • New Argument: A new argument, IsViewAttachment, has been added to all AttachmentOperations method overloads. This argument determines whether the attachment is a view attachment. Defaults to FALSE. #3966

  • New Function Parameter: The @Checksum function has a new optional argument, IncludePosition, which determines whether to include the range’s position in the checksum calculation. #4067

  • New Event Link: The CoverChanged event link has been added. The new eventOccurs when a view’s cover is shown or hidden. #4064

    The event link’s properties include:

    • `Covered', Whether the view’s cover is shown or hidden.
